The commune secretary realized that Ye Fan was going to help him connect with the troops and chase him out. Santengzi was about to turn into a little black spot.
The secretary thought that Ye Fan's husband was Commander Geng, and Commander Geng must have known about her coming. Commander Geng agreed with Ye Fan to come forward because he must be afraid that the army logistics would be passive when talking to him.
The military and civilians are one family!
Captain Geng is overthinking.
The next day, the secretary rode to the army to find Commander Geng.
When Geng Zhiye arrived home last night, Dabao and Dabao held his hands one on the left and the other to look at the sea. After the meal, the couple took their two children to the beach with flashlights. The two children couldn't stand the mosquito bites and had to go home. Geng Zhiye and Ye Fan gave them a bath and went to bed late. So Geng Zhiye didn't know that Ye Fan went to see the secretary yesterday.
When the secretary mentioned that Ye Fan was looking for him, Geng Zhiye looked confused and didn't look like he was pretending. The secretary asked him if it wasn't him who asked Ye Fan to look for him.
Geng Zhiye shook his head: "I really don't know."
"But you don't know how Comrade Ye can help us sell things?"
Geng Zhiye thought to himself that Ye Fan was out of his mind because he dared to agree to anything. Geng Zhiye suddenly thought of his stepmother. Ye Fan indeed promised her to help Geng Zhiqin change his job, but she did not say where he would change his job: "Is that what Ye Fan said?"
The secretary's face changed slightly and he hesitated: "No, no, she said that she had thought about it and found her."
Geng Zhiye was relieved: "Then you go to her. Even if we can deal with some fruits and vegetables, we can't buy them directly from you. How to operate here, you ask Ye Fan. She used to be the accountant of the Capital Supply and Marketing Society and knows more than me."
The secretary nudged Ye Fan several times and asked him to visit him in person, but he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
There is no shortage of food for the troops, but transportation is troublesome and the price is high. The secretary is not in a hurry, and neither is Ye Fan.
The secretary came home from the army under the scorching sun, and Ye Fan just turned on the fan. Dabao and Erbao were sweating from playing outside. Ye Fan asked the two children to go under the fan and gave them a basin of warm water to wipe them clean.
Liao Miaomiao heard that Dabao said that the fan in his house was very cool. She was irritated by the heat at home, so she brought her younger brothers and sisters over.
Ye Fan asked Miao Miao if they wanted to take a shower. Miao Miao touched her face and felt sticky with sweat. She wanted to go home and get a towel. Ye Fan handed over his own towel and said with a smile that it was done and washed. Liao Miaomiao was no longer polite.
Putting towels on a clothes rack to expose them to the sun, and entering the house to feel the power of technology, Liao Miaomiao couldn't help but ask if the fan was expensive.
Ye Fan: "I don't know. It should be expensive."
Liao Miaomiao: "Didn't Aunt Ye buy it?"
Dabao shook his head: "No. My uncle bought it."
Ye Fan explained that her elder brother had sent it a few days ago, and then told Liao Miaomiao that she could come to her house to do homework in the future.
Liao Miaomiao said without thinking: "I graduated from elementary school and have no summer homework."
Ye Fan knows very well that in the next three years, all those who want to enter college will wish they had seventy-two hours a day, reading in their dreams: "You can learn other things."
Dabao blurted out: "Foreign language."
Liao Miaomiao asked curiously: "Dabao also knows foreign languages."
Ye Fan: "Dabao can speak foreign languages."
Liao Miaomiao didn't know a word and couldn't believe what she said. She looked Dabao up and down: "You haven't gone to school yet?"
The child lying on the bench suddenly got up: "I'm going to school."
Ye Fan nodded: "Kindergarten for the first half of the year. You will have to go to kindergarten for another year when school starts in autumn."
Dabao thought that the children in the kindergarten were even worse than his younger sister: "Can I not go to kindergarten?"
Ye Fan: "Okay. But I'm not as young as you in the first grade. If you go to the first grade, your mother will worry that they will laugh at you. If you can't help but fight with them, your mother will feel bad if you break it."
Dabaoxin said he wasn't afraid, but he was so short that he couldn't beat him with all his hands and feet in a fight: "I don't fight!"
"Then try it first. If you don't like it, we'll go to kindergarten." As long as Dabao is willing to go to school, everything is easy to discuss.
Dabao smiled and threw himself into his mother's arms: "Mom, if you do this every day, I like you every day."
Ye Fan teased him: "Practice calligraphy with mom in the evening?"
Dabao immediately moved to the other end of the bench, far away from his mother.
Erbao's hands were too small to hold a pen. She hadn't memorized anything yet, and Ye Fan had to leave it up to her whether she could learn to write or not. So much so that Erbao didn't have any resistance to learning. As soon as her brother left, she took her place and sat on her mother's lap.
Liao Miaomiao was envious: "Aunt Ye, you have such a good temper. Unlike my mother, who scolds people before finishing three sentences."
Dabao exclaimed: "My mother has a good temper? You haven't seen her hit me. It's not like my mother. I picked it up from the trash."
Brother Miaomiao was surprised: "Did you pick it up from the garbage dump too?"
Dabao almost bit his tongue. The point is where he picked it up.
Brother Miaomiao thought he had acquiesced, and forgot to be cautious, moved to sit next to Dabao: "Me too. Which garbage dump did you pick it up from?"
Dabao's expression was more complicated than that of an adult. Unexpectedly, Miao Miao's brother, who was four years older than him, believed such nonsense: "Aunt Qiuyue said you picked it up?"
"How do you know?" Brother Miaomiao was shocked, "My mother told you? Why do you talk about this kind of thing everywhere?"
Miaomiao couldn't stand listening: "What Dabao means is that he doesn't look like Aunt Ye's biological child. You didn't pick it up from the garbage dump. We often throw away garbage. Have you ever seen children in the garbage dump? There are only mice and cockroaches!"
The younger brother shook his head: "You don't know, what our mother said has a nose and eyes, just like the truth."
Dabao: "You said you wanted a younger brother, and asked your mother to pick one up. She must have said he doesn't have one. I can make a bet with you." He raised his little hand that was just picking his feet, "Betting or not? The loser is called the winning brother. .”
Ye Fan choked with laughter.
Liao Miaomiao wondered why she was laughing. When she saw two children opposite, one tall and one short, she suddenly realized: "Dabao, are you a monkey, right? The eldest brother is four years older than you, so you have to call me eldest brother."
Dabao ignored her, stared at his eldest brother and said, "I guess you don't dare to gamble."
How dare a little kid look down on him is unbearable. The eldest brother said in a deep voice: "Bet!"
Dabao turned to the opposite side: "Sister Miao Miao, you will be the referee."
"The eldest brother is my younger brother, are you sure?"
Dabao nodded: "Sister Miao Miao doesn't lie. Mom said you can play with sister Miao Miao."
Liao Miaomiao was surprised. Does Aunt Ye trust her so much? Then she can't live up to Aunt Ye's trust.
Ye Fan didn't even look at it. She had said that Dabao wasn't going to use it at this time.
He's such a smart guy and doesn't want to learn anything. If he doesn't catch up with him while he's young, if he doesn't force him to get used to studying, and if he doesn't let him get used to playing, Geng Zhiye won't be able to do anything to him in two years.
Ye Fan: "Geng Dabao, it's almost done."
Dabao Congshan Ruliu stopped here: "Mom, I'm thirsty."
Ye Fan put Erbao on the chair, went to the kitchen to pick up a thermos, and took six bowls to pour sour plum soup for her and the five children.
The three sisters of the Liao family did not expect that the thermos bottle could not only hold hot water, but also other things. They asked in unison: "What is this?"
Dabao: "Sour plum soup. My uncle sent it."
Ye Fan added: "My sister-in-law went to the drug store to grab the ingredients for making sour plum soup. It was meant to be cooled before drinking. I was worried that they would have a stomachache. Dabao, you two drink slowly."
Erbao was not thirsty, so he took a few sips to taste and then stretched out his hand to push it away. Ye Fan simply drank from his daughter's bowl and gave half of her bowl to Miao Miao.
The little girl was very embarrassed: "No need."
Ye Fan: "Drink. After you drink, go home and get your books and homework. The three of you will read your writing homework, and I will teach Dabao how to write."
None of the three Miao Miao siblings wanted to study, but they were too soft-spoken to say no. The eldest brother did his summer homework, and Miao Miao taught her younger sister first-grade math pinyin. Unfortunately, she got anxious after not teaching even three sentences, because she thought her younger sister was stupid.
The little girl hoped to be liked by Ye Fan, and would come to Ye's house every day to enjoy the cool weather and drink sour plum soup. When Ye Fan looked over, she almost burst into tears: "It's obvious that you don't know how to teach."
Miaomiao was so angry that she slapped the table: "Two plus four equals six. I don't know what three plus three equals. Am I not good at teaching or are you stupid?"
"It's just that you don't know how to teach!" The little girl was so angry that her face turned red. Number two, number four and number three were different. She didn't know it was normal. How could she be stupid?
Ye Fan wanted to laugh: "Little sister, use a pencil to draw two lines in the empty space of the homework book, and then draw four lines. Count them. Erase them and draw two threes."
The little girl obeyed and did as she was told, and the result was astonishing: "Six?"
Liao Miaomiao rolled her eyes at her sister.
Ye Fan: "For example, you can reach my home from the east, and you can reach my home from the west. You can also reach my home from the north, and pass through the alley. My home is like Liu."
The little girl exclaimed like she was enlightened: "I know. Sister, look at Aunt Ye, she is better at teaching than you."
Liao Miaomiao was speechless and unable to refute: "...Aunt Ye is also older than me, so of course she knows more than me."
Little sister: "You are older than me too."
Liao Miaomiao was speechless.
Ye Fan tried to smooth things over: "Okay, let's continue."
Erbao was sleepy, Ye Fan held her and watched Dabao write Pinyin. Dabao was planning to help his mother share the burden - watching his sister sleep. But when he heard that his little sister, who was two years older than him, didn't know what three plus three equaled, he felt very accomplished. In order not to be overtaken by his younger sister, Dabao sat down for half an hour for the first time.
The child is too active and cannot learn this trick every day, otherwise he will be tired of learning before Dabao reaches elementary school.
Geng Zhiye was not at home during the day, leaving Ye Fan to figure out a solution on his own.
The next day, Ye Fan came back from shopping for groceries and cooked porridge on the stove. He took down the two children who were playing on the bed and washed them. The three of them returned to the living room and stood in a row.
Dabao: "Mom, what are we doing?"
“Have you ever heard of four taels making up a thousand pounds?”
Dabao is only four years old. I’ve heard a lot, and even more I haven’t heard of.
Ye Fan added: "I've been studying with my mother for two years and I can't even beat you."
In terms of learning, Dabao didn't trust his mother before, thinking that she was deliberately making things difficult for him because he was sometimes very misbehaved. These days, he knows that foreign language is useful and he is better at pinyin and mathematics than his older sister, so he has no doubt about it.
In the past, Ye Fan's physical weakness did not allow her to split bricks and crush rocks with her bare hands, so she only practiced Tai Chi. After practicing for more than ten years, I almost never stopped, including when I was pregnant. Naturally, I also practiced in front of the first and second babies.
Dabao was very disappointed: "What? I thought mom stopped practicing."
Ye Fan: "There have been a lot of things lately, and my mother can't calm down. Did grandma ever say that my mother was not in good health before?"
"Dad said it. I remember it." Dabao understood, "I practiced with my mother."
Ye Fan heard what he meant: "It's useless to practice for one year, but start after two years."
"Two years is just two years." Dabao said to his sister: "Erbao, you don't know how to watch first. Brother learns and brother teaches you."
Both mother and brother are around, and the second child never makes a fuss unless he is hungry, sleepy or sick.
Erbao nodded obediently. When she saw her mother moving, she learned to make gestures. Ye Fan taught half of it first, and then taught Dabao and Erbao step by step. He did not ask Dabao and Erbao to do it for a certain period of time or to what extent.
Ye Fan's purpose was to calm down Dabao and Erbao and improve their concentration.
After about half an hour, Dabao was sweating all over. Ye Fan wiped them both with a hot towel, changed out of their wet clothes, and asked them to play while she brought down the porridge and started cooking on the stove.
During the time when Ye Fan was familiar with the island's environment on a three-bouncer, Geng Zhiye built the toilet and made hundreds of briquettes. Only now did Ye Fan have the heart to pick up Tai Chi again and visit the secretary.
Ye Fan kept her promise and waited for the secretary to come to her door. Geng Zhiye came back and told her secretary to go to the army to find him, but Ye Fan still sat firmly on Diaoyutai.
Liao Miaomiao was embarrassed to go to Ye Fan's house to enjoy the cool air every day, so she gave the abacus she didn't use to Erbao. Er Bao liked to hear the sound of abacus beads, so Ye Fan taught his daughter abacus.
Liao Miaomiao was surprised: "Aunt Ye, how come you know everything?"
"I don't know many things. For example, I didn't know how to make a fire or carry water before, and I didn't know how to cook seafood. Even now, I still don't know half of the seafood in the wet market."
Liao Miaomiao: "Your family is in the north, so it's strange that we all know each other and can do it. No, no, I was almost led astray by you. I mean you didn't even look at it when you taught Erbao to make an abacus."
Dabao was surprised: "Sister Miao Miao, my mother is an accountant. Accountants can do abacus!"
Chen Xiaohui is not good at it. Once she calculates with an abacus, she has to calculate again with scratch paper. She was too embarrassed to do the math at work and had to do it every day when she got home. Otherwise, she wouldn't have to go back to the house every day and wouldn't have time to meet Tao Chunlan.
Miaomiao thought she had learned well: "Aunt Ye, please teach me."
"Only if you are familiar with it." Ye Fan said, "You don't use it often, and even if you are good at it now, you won't be confident in using it in a few years. Dabao, mom often talks to you in foreign languages, just because she is worried that you will forget it all after a while. ”
Liao Miaomiao wanted to get her abacus back, but she thought that she would not have the chance to go to a technical secondary school and enter college. In the future, she would either go to the countryside or become a soldier, or stay at home for two years after graduating from junior high school and get married early: "Aunt Ye taught Erbao in the hope that Is Erbao an accountant? ”
Ye Fan shook his head: "Er Bao likes to learn. If he doesn't want to learn, just learn something else."
Liao Miaomiao couldn't help but be envious.
When Ye Fan saw this, he was immediately afraid of teaching the child a bad lesson: "The main thing is that Erbao is two years old and there is no need to worry. At your age, I won't allow her to fish for three days and dry the nets for two days."
"But what happens if you learn it well?"
Ye Fan heard what she meant, but he couldn't go to college to learn the career change he wanted: "Opportunities are only reserved for those who are prepared. For example, when I come here, my job is taken over by someone else. That person thought it was easy to settle accounts before, but someone else She didn’t study hard when she was teaching, but she didn’t realize it until she got to work.”
Liao Miaomiao heard from her classmates about Ye Fan. Zhuang Qiuyue didn't allow her to mention "Chen Xiaohui" in front of Ye Fan. She pretended not to know: "Then she was fired?"
Ye Fan: "Fortunately, I have taught Aunt Dabao. She can ask Aunt Dabao for help and study after work, otherwise she will have to give up her job."
"Do I need to use what I learned in school?"
Ye Fan nodded: "You don't need it before you turn twenty, which doesn't mean you don't need it after you turn twenty. You see, I can teach Dabao English. His father can teach Russian."
Dabao took the opportunity to say: "Mom, Russian is so difficult."
"Did mom force you to learn?"
Not really. When Dad speaks, Mom asks Dad to teach him, without asking him to say it correctly. Dabao covered his face when he thought of this: "I forgot, mom, I'm sorry."
Ye Fan: "Then let's discuss it. I want you to learn what you want to learn. Mom will teach you what you want to learn. Won't mom just ask grandma and uncle to help you find a teacher?"
Dabao just wants to play. But there is no loss in agreeing: "Mom, hook?"
With the eldest brother in the middle, he couldn't pull the hook. Ye Fan stretched out his hand, and Dabao stood up, took her hand and gave her a high five. The three sisters of the Liao family envied Dabao, and Ye Fan accepted him as an adult, so they fell in love with him even more. However, within a few days, I received news from the army's logistics personnel that a typhoon was coming.
In the afternoon of that day, Zhuang Qiuyue asked her three children to go to Ye Fan's house to do their homework and accompany their eldest and second treasure. She, Ye Fan, Liu Guihua and others collected firewood and cuddled leaves.
Liu Guihua, like Ye Fan, had never seen a typhoon and asked Zhuang Qiuyue how many days the typhoon would last.
Zhuang Qiuyue was not sure and asked Ye Fan if he knew.
Geng Zhiye hasn't come back yet, so Ye Fan doesn't know. Fortunately, he saw it on TV in his previous life: "I heard that it will rain heavily even before we get here."
Liu Guihua: "It happens to be our side?"
Zhuang Qiuyue: "When Lao Liao built the toilet in my house, he said he could lift the roof of the toilet."
Liu Guihua asked Ye Fan: "Should we take the spittoon into the house?"
Ye Fan: "Put it under the eaves of the corridor during the day, and take it into the house when you use it, otherwise it will be too smelly."
Zhuang Qiuyue thought so too. The three of them filled the stove. Zhuang Qiuyue came home and washed her face, then went to look for the three children next door. When she went to Ye Fan's living room, she remembered something: "Xiaoye, do you have briquettes at home?"
Ye Fan: "I'm worried that if it rains for several days, the briquettes won't burn better than the firewood."
"Yes, there is water on the ground. Are there wooden boards under the briquettes?"
Ye Fan's house didn't have wooden boards, so before the typhoon came, he moved the remaining bricks from the toilet to the kitchen, laid two layers of bricks and put the briquettes on top.
In the evening, Geng Zhiye came back and saw Ye Fan buying a lot of dried noodles and dry thin rice noodles, enough for the three of them to eat for half a month: "Fanfan, buy some pickles. It's raining and windy, so we can't buy vegetables, and supplies can't come in."
Ye Fan: "No wonder there are two cars parked in front of the market. One is full of rice, and the other is full of rice noodles."
Geng Zhiye knew this. The commune did not have a transport truck, so the market requested it from the army, and Political Commissar Liao approved it.
"You go to the vegetable market and have a look. I'll pack a few clothes and leave." Geng Zhiye went to the bedroom and came out. "Ask if there are any salted duck eggs and what other items are not subject to purchase restrictions."
Ye Fan carried the vegetable basket: "I know."
Geng Zhiye packed up his things and checked all the doors and windows again. When Dabao saw his parents acting as if they were facing a formidable enemy, Dabao was very frightened, so he was very well-behaved.
This was the first time Ye Fan was so close to a typhoon. She was a little uneasy because of the unfamiliarity, so she asked Dabao and Erbao to sleep with her.
With his mother by his side, Dabao felt at ease. A typhoon passed by in the middle of the night and rattled the doors and windows. Ye Fan woke up with a start. He and Erbao did not move at all.
Ye Fan held a flashlight to the window and saw raindrops hitting him like hail. Ye Fan kept his eyes open until dawn.
It was daybreak and the rain had subsided, but the wind was too strong to hold up the umbrella. Neither the eldest son nor the second treasure dared to approach the living room door. They followed Ye Fan wherever he went.
Ye Fan bought a lot of vegetables last night and used them to cook noodles.
Dabao took a bite of noodles and looked outside: "Mom, is this a typhoon?"
Ye Fan shook his head: "A typhoon can blow down the fence. The typhoon has not come. It's like if I hit my sister, my hand passes in front of you to bring the wind."
The noodles in Dabao's mouth fell into the bowl.
Ye Fan: "It's just what you think."
"That's why grandma didn't ask you to come."
Ye Fan: "She's worried."
Dabao nodded: "We're not going out." He turned to his sister and said, "Er Bao, we're not going out."
Erbao listens to his brother's words very much: "I play with my brother."
The Liao family and the Liu family did not dare to come out. No one was looking for Dabao and Erbao, and Ye Fan's family was extremely quiet.
When the sun came out, Zhuang Qiuyue came over with her three children with a sewing basket. She lamented with Ye Fan how scary the wind was, saying that she hadn't slept well in the past few days, and that Ye Fan looked very good and was very courageous.
Ye Fan shook his head: "I'll catch up on my sleep during the day."
Zhuang Qiuyue kept worrying about when the rain would stop and forgot to catch up on her sleep. He also said that he could go to bed early today. Just as he was talking, Liu Guifang came over with her children.
The living room was crowded and stuffy, so Ye Fan turned on the fan.
It has been raining for several days and the house is cool, so adults and children have forgotten to stay in bed.
Liu Guihua sighed: "The island also has its advantages. No matter how hot it is during the day, you can sleep at night. It rained a few days ago and it was cool. I didn't expect that I had nothing to cover as before, and ended up waking up in the middle of the night from the cold. Xiaoye , what about you? ”
"The eldest and second treasures need to be covered with towels and blankets. They have been sleeping with me for the past few days. It's okay for me and them to make do."
Liu Guihua saw that she looked good: "I was worried that you wouldn't get used to it."
Ye Fan: "I'm mentally prepared. Although the typhoon is scary, it's worth it because we can eat cheap seafood every day."
Liu Guihua deeply agrees: "I used to dig wild vegetables. Now I can't finish the small fish and shrimps picked up at the beach. I plan to send some dried sea vegetables and fish to my hometown in the winter when things are not broken. When can you send it? Let's take a look. Let’s see if it can be cheaper.”
Zhuang Qiuyue: "The price has been fixed, it can't be cheaper."
Dabao ran in from outside.
Ye Fan: "Why don't you play anymore?"
The room was boring, so several children ran to the courtyard, but it was too sunny in the courtyard and too crowded under the eaves. Dabao didn't think it was fun, so he took off his shoes and climbed onto a chair: "I want to read a book." He picked up the book he threw in the corner. Xiao Renshu sat down next to Ye Fan.
Zhuang Qiuyue looked at Dabao and asked, "Is Dabao taller than when he first arrived? Should his shoes be smaller?"
Ye Fan smiled and said: "I don't need to do it."
"Do you want to buy it?" Liu Guihua blurted out.
Dabao turned his head and said, "Grandma made it for us." Pointing to his sister who was lying in her mother's arms and playing with her fingers, "Grandma made it for my sister with little flowers, but my mother doesn't know how to do it."
Zhuang Qiuyue looked at Erbao's feet. There were two small flowers and a few green leaves on the shoe, "Did your mother-in-law embroider it?"
Ye Fan nodded: "She and my father-in-law are both retired. She doesn't have to worry about my sister-in-law's work. She has time to do it."
Liu Guihua didn't know how to do it, so she was very envious. She couldn't help but sit over and look at her: "What a skillful hand."
The children of the Liao family and the Liu family came in and saw this scene and were very curious. They heard that the flowers on Erbao's shoes were embroidered. Liao Miaomiao was shocked: "There are still people who know how to embroider?"
Ye Fan: "Yes. After seeing many embroideries, you will wonder how they could have been embroidered by humans. But they are really embroidered by humans because machines cannot do it."
Liao Miaomiao: "Where are the foreign machines?"
Ye Fan shook his head.
Several children couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
Geng Zhiye thought something had happened when he entered the courtyard. He walked to the door in a few steps and saw a room full of people. He was startled, "I thought something had happened."
Zhuang Qiuyue was also startled: "Captain Geng?"
"Old Liao is behind, we came here."
Ye Fan: "Who are you with?"
Liu Guifang: "It must be my old cow."
Deputy head Niu often praised Geng Zhiye to Liu Guifang: "Old Niu doesn't have a key." Then he asked his children if they wanted to go home.
The two children wanted their father to go out with her. Zhuang Qiuyue was also worried about Political Commissar Liao because the troops were stationed closer to the sea: "It's almost noon, I have to go home and cook."
Geng Zhiye sent them to the eaves of the corridor and came in after they arrived outside the courtyard: "Fanfan, are you okay these days?"
Ye Fan: "The first day was a little scary. But it was much better than I expected."
Geng Zhiye nodded: "It's better here, but it's serious on the other side. The trees have fallen down."
"Is it also on this island?"
Geng Zhiye: "Yes. Typhoons are weird, with strong winds in some places and light rain in others. This island is not a small one. It rains heavily in the supply and marketing cooperative, and the sun is common here."
"I bought a lot of vegetables in the morning. I haven't gone out these days, and Dabao's little face has turned yellow."
Dabao came down immediately, pulled on his shoes and took his father to the kitchen: "Dad, the uncle who sells fish said to fight in the morning."
Geng Zhiye took a quick look and said: "Are they all Xiaowang seafood?"
Ye Fan went in with Erbao in his arms: "The fishermen said that the typhoon has not gone far yet, so they dare not go out to sea."
Geng Zhiye shook his head: "You don't know something. You don't dare to go too far without a typhoon."
Ye Fan didn't know. Just when she was about to ask why, she suddenly thought of the geographical location of this island. There are bald men on top and chickens on the bottom. "Aren't you patrolling around the beach?"
Geng Zhiye subconsciously said: "Of course not." After saying it, he understood what he meant and shook his head: "No?"
"How do you know if you don't ask for permission?" Ye Fan said, "The military and the civilians are all close. Then again, fishermen are so frightened offshore every day that the fish don't dare to come. Ten, twenty, thirty years later, they still have to go out? Where? How much is left to us? ”
That makes sense.
Nothing was lost to him.
In the afternoon, Geng Zhiye discussed with the political commissar and chief of staff to confirm that there were no losses. Geng Zhiye reported to the superiors that there was no damage to the troops after the typhoon, but the fishermen suffered considerable losses, and finally stated his purpose.
At the same time, eight miles away, the commune secretary was helpless as he watched a corner of a house collapsed by a tree.
In the past, private sales were allowed and fishermen could take the train to Hangzhou, but now they can only be sold to shore purchase stations. After pulling over a hundred kilograms, there may be twenty or even fifty kilograms left. If it were in the past, fishermen wouldn't have to pull them back, lower the price, and sell out in a short while on the streets. If you don’t sell enough, take it back to dry, and you can keep it and sell it until the end of the year. In this case, there is hope even if the boat is blown away by the typhoon.
The secretary's son asked his father what happened. The secretary looked at the private houses and said they could not be occupied and had to be rebuilt. But where does the money come from? The secretary sighed. His son couldn't help but said: "If you come to Ye Fan earlier, you will have all the money to repair the house."
"It can't be so fast." The secretary retorted subconsciously, realizing what his son meant, and his face was very unnatural, "The troops don't need to buy seafood. The cooking team just rushes to the sea and picks up enough."
His son thought he was stubborn and wanted to save face: "If you don't go, I will!"
"You go. I think people will take care of you." Geng Zhiye ignored him. It was strange that Ye Fan could take care of his son.
The secretary felt that his son didn’t understand either this or that. When his son saw his father, he said, "Just go." After that, he went home and rode his bike.
Arriving at the door of Ye Fan's house, the secretary's son didn't dare to go in.
Dabao and Erbao were turning over flower ropes under the eaves of the corridor. Erbao saw someone coming first: "Brother."
"Uncle, who are you looking for?" Dabao asked loudly.
The secretary's son subconsciously wanted to find a place to hide.
Dabao ran down: "Are you looking for my dad? My dad is over there." Pointing to the southeast.
"Dabao, who are you talking to?" Ye Fan came out of the house carrying a bucket.
The secretary's son had no choice but to hide and came in: "I, I - my name is Su Yuanhang, my father said that the secretary of the commune, I -"
"Did your father call you here?" Ye Fan asked.
Su Yuanhang shook his head subconsciously: "He knows, he said, he is temporarily unavailable. A lot of trees have fallen, and he wants to lead people to clean them up. I - he asked me to come, and he asked me to listen to you."
Ye Fanxin said that he was so guilty, it would be strange for me to believe you!
But there's no harm in talking, since the initiative is on her side anyway.
Ye Fan put down the bucket: "Dabao, come in."
Dabao closed the fence door, moved the bench when he entered the house, and then took his sister back to the bedroom.
Ye Fan poured a glass of water for Su Yuanhang and asked him to sit down, "Dabao, lend your pencil and exercise book to mom. Those who don't have to write."
Dabao sent a brand new notebook: "Mom, there is no need to return it."
Ye Fan: "Can I write one less book?"
Dabao was embarrassed in front of outsiders, so he pursed his lips and smiled, ran back to the house, and closed the door.
Su Yuanhang's children are similar in age to Dabao, and they only want to play and eat delicious food. So much so that when he saw how sensible the child was, he couldn't help but ask Ye Fan how old Dabao was.
Ye Fan said: "I will be five years old by the end of the year."
One year younger than his son? He really knows how to teach children. Su Yuanhang was inexplicably looking forward to what Ye Fan was going to say: "What do you need me to do?"
Ye Fan shook his head: "Ten brigades of Hengshan Commune?"
Su Yuanhang was shocked, how did she know.
Ye Fan glanced at him without explaining, and wrote down the names of ten brigades in a book, "Those who live at the foot of the mountains can grow oranges and yellow peaches, those who live near the water can raise ducks, and those who live in mountainous areas with flat terrain can raise chickens. Pig raising——"
"Wait a minute-" Su Yuanhang couldn't help but interrupt.
Ye Fan nodded: "I know what you want to say. You have thought about it this way, but the cannery purchasing station won't accept it, right? Because they can't sell out. When you talked to the cannery, you said that the fruits collected here can be made into cans. We Recycling. Private sales are not allowed above. Your father is needed. Apply to open a food factory. Salted duck eggs and preserved eggs are sold to Shencheng and the capital. I remember that there is a train from Yongcheng to the capital. It will be delivered to the capital tomorrow. , pork can also be shipped over.”
Su Yuanhang: "Do you know anyone?"
"I used to be an accountant at the Capital Supply and Marketing Society, and I know a lot of people. Now my sister-in-law works as a salesperson at that supply and marketing society. There is a ration on eggs and duck eggs in the capital, and there are no oranges. Canned food is expensive, but most working-class families are willing to buy some during the holidays." Ye Fan added, "You can't plant too much. Other communes follow suit and have connections, so I can't do anything if I have people."
Su Yuanhang thought thoughtfully: "What's in it for you?"
Ye Fan nodded: "One request, sell to the troops at cost price. No more than 50% at most."
Su Yuanhang felt relieved: "In the name of the food factory?"
Ye Fan: "It's okay to buy the station."
Su Yuanhang choked.
"The purchasing station is difficult to handle. If the food factory is responsible for its own profits and losses, no one will be stuck. The prerequisite is that outsiders cannot know the true purpose of the commune." Ye Fan reminded, "There is no explicit rule that food factories cannot sell live chickens, ducks, and pigs, right?"
Su Yuanhang: "What if it's not allowed?"
